2 Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when calling Syngenta ( ), a poison contol center or doctor, or going for treatment. Ingestion: Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Inhalation: If swallowed: Call Syngenta ( ), a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have the person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so after calling or by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 5-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call Syngenta ( ), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 5-20 minutes. Call Syngenta ( ), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 9 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call Syngenta ( ), a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. Notes to Physician There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested. Treat symptomatically. Medical Condition Likely to be Aggravated by Exposure None known. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Fire and Explosion Flash Point (Test Method): Flammable Limits (% in Air): Autoignition Temperature: Flammability: Does not flash up to 22 F Lower: 85 F Upper: Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. In Case of Fire Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES In Case of Spill or Leak Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment Section. Cover entire spill with absorbing material and place into compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal container, seal container and arrange for disposition. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Page: 2

3 THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION, PACKAGING AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT. FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL. Ingestion: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Acute Toxicity/Irritation Studies (Finished Product) Ingestion: Oral (LD50 Female Rat) : mg/kg body weight Dermal: Dermal (LD50 Rat) : > 5000 mg/kg body weight Inhalation: Inhalation (LC50 Rat) : Not Available Eye Contact: Mildly Irritating (Rabbit) Skin Contact: Slightly Irritating (Rabbit) Skin Sensitization: Not a skin sensitizer in animal tests. Reproductive/Developmental Effects Page: 3

4 Shows weak chromosomal damage in mammalian cells at cytotoxic levels. Negative in whole animal assays for chromosomal and DNA damage at high dosages (> or = 2,000 mg/kg). In rabbits, no effect was observed up to the highest dose level (500 mg/kg/day). In rats, developmental effects were seen only at maternally toxic doses (00 mg/kg/day). Maternal and fetal toxicity were observed at high dose levels (rats). Chronic/Subchronic Toxicity Studies In a rat 90-day feeding study, liver toxicity was observed at 2,000 ppm. This was manifest as gross distension of the bile duct, increased numbers of lining cells and inflammation of the duct. No toxicologically significant effects were seen in repeat dose dog studies. Data reviews do not indicate any potential for endocrine disruption. There is no evidence of neurotoxicity in any of the studies conducted with azoxystrobin. Liver enlargements and decreased body weight (mice). Liver damage in rats and dogs. Carcinogenicity No carcinogenic effects observed in rats or mice at doses up to the maximum tolerated dose. Liver tumors (mice only). Other Toxicity Information None Toxicity of Other Components Propylene Glycol Test results reported in Section for the final product take into account any acute hazards related to the propylene glycol in the formulation. Reported to cause central nervous system depression (anesthesia, dizziness, confusion), headache and nausea. Chronic dietary exposure caused kidney and liver injury in experimental animals. Target Organs Active Ingredients Liver Liver Inert Ingredients Propylene Glycol: CNS, kidney, liver 2. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Summary of Effects Very toxic to aquatic life.
